Bible: Deut. 14:28-29; 16:10-11

14:28 At the end of every three years you must bring all the tithe of your produce, in that very year, and you must store it up in your villages. 14:29 Then the Levites (because they have no allotment or inheritance with you), the resident foreigners, the orphans, and the widows of your villages may come and eat their fill so that the Lord your God may bless you in all the work you do.

16:10 I will greatly multiply your descendants,” the Lord’s angel added, 1  “so that they will be too numerous to count.” 2  16:11 Then the Lord’s angel said to her,

“You are now 3  pregnant

and are about to give birth 4  to a son.

You are to name him Ishmael, 5 

for the Lord has heard your painful groans. 6
